Be An “Aunt Lois”

Publisher’s Pen

Do you have a relative who stands out for her generositiy and Christlike character?

Is there an “Aunt Lois” in your life? A relative who stands out for her generosity
and Christlike character?

When I was a child it was Aunt Lois who baked nearly a thousand cookies every
Christmas and gave a big boxful to every niece and nephew who showed up at her
home. It was Aunt Lois who always gave each of us a birthday present and card
to remind us that she loved us.

And it was Aunt Lois and Uncle Curtis who sponsored our family into the National
Geographic Society in the late 1960s. Back then, you couldn’t buy National Geographic
magazine at newsstands. You had to subscribe, and you couldn’t subscribe unless
you were initially sponsored. We felt very special.

In spite of its blatant evolutionary bias, that beautifully illustrated magazine
was one of several things God used to fan in me a burning desire to know the
truth about nature and our universe—and to help spread it to the whole world!
Aunt Lois’s gift of that magazine is part of the reason I serve as publisher
of Answers—refuting evolution instead of promoting it.

A few weeks ago, as I was thinking about Aunt Lois’s gift, it struck me that
subscribers often call Answers the “Christian National Geographic.” I sat down
late that night and made a list of loved ones my wife and I could be Aunt Lois
to this year. We bought about a dozen gift subscriptions and within days started
hearing heartfelt thank-yous. It’s wonderful to know that—several times over
the next year—families we love will receive this creation-based worldview magazine.
And God may use it to inspire other young people to dedicate their lives to
spreading the truth!

I’m sure Aunt Lois never expected it, but God used her gift to fan a flame
in a very ordinary kid. Can you be “Aunt Lois” to someone, too?

All for Him,

Dale T. Mason, Publisher

“God’s Word—starting with the history in Genesis—is critical to understanding
our modern world, sometimes in surprising ways. For example, Genesis gives
us insight into hot current issues, such as global warming, or scientific
puzzles, such as the distribution of life in Madagascar. I hope this issue
will encourage you, more than ever, to turn to the authority of God’s Word
in every area of life.”
